It is an object of my invention to provide a new and improved baby bottle which also serves as a rattle and pacifier.

Another object is to provide a new and improved baby bottle of the character indicated which can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of my invention will now be explained with reference both to this specification and to the drawings wherein:

FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view of my invention;

FIGURE 2 is a bottom end view thereof; and

FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a bottle in accordance with my invention having an octagon shape.

Referring now to FIGURES 1 and 2, there is shown a plastic bottle having a neck 10 threaded to receive a cap or a nipple and cap, the bottom of the neck flaring outward to form the top of the main cylindrical section 12 of the bottle. Section 12 has a circular cross section.) The bottom 14 of section 12 is sealed and a hollow small bottom section 16 having balls or rattle elements 17 or other objects therein is secured to bottom 14 and functions as a rattle. A bell 18 is secured to the outer surface of section 16; if desired, additional bells can be used.

A horizontal disc 20 is secured to the bottom of section 16. A pacifier nipple 22 extends downward from disc 20, disc 20 serving as a pacifier mouth stop.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to the drawings, my protection is to be limited only by the terms of the claims which follow.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by letters Patent:
